The reason for the two values is that it is a mixture of two types... Basically the twp types perform differently at higher temps etc.. Therefore you don't want it too thick when cold, but you don't want it to thin when hot....<BR/><BR/>If I remember correctly, 30-50w (w stands for weight) is about the same consistancy as diff oil I use to put in the cruziers. Thought it's mean a while....<BR/><BR/>If you are really interested, I can search out my diesel fitter books and find it out for you exactly.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>BellyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8296399.post-1160948921041296722006-10-16T07:48:00.000+10:002006-10-16T07:48:00.000+10:00Nick:Use de-natured alcohol.

It'll take the oil off and it airdries clean.<BR/><BR/>We use it at the bike shop to clean greasy parts as well as disc brake pads and rotors.<BR/><BR/>Melanie's DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8296399.post-1160909351900258352006-10-15T20:49:00.000+10:002006-10-15T20:49:00.000+10:00woot!
